Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Mix Base
- 1 box Brownie Mix (Choose a fudgy mix for the best texture)
- 2 large Eggs (Helps bind the ingredients and contributes to a chewy consistency)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (Can substitute with melted butter for added richness)
Add-Ins & Finishing Touch
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips or Chunks (Opt for dark chocolate for a richer taste)
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (Optional, but elevates the chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and quick clean-up.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the brownie mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir together until a thick, fudgy dough forms, making sure all dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks gently so they are evenly distributed throughout the dough without melting.
- Form Cookies: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, rolling it into a ball, then place them onto the prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should have firm edges and soft, slightly underdone centers for that perfect chewy texture.
- Cool Slightly: Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes after removing from the oven, allowing them to set before transferring.
- Optional Finishing: While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the tops to enhance the chocolate flavor and add a hint of contrast.
Notes
- Using a fudgy brownie mix ensures the cookies have a soft, chewy texture rather than cakey.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter if you prefer a richer flavor.
- Dark chocolate chips elevate the taste, but milk or semi-sweet work well too.
- For extra indulgence, add nuts like walnuts or pecans into the dough.
- Do not overbake; the centers should remain soft for the best experience.
- Sea salt is optional but highly recommended to balance sweetness and intensify chocolate.
